Tom,

I would have thought that the more tpi the "FINER" the knurl produced?  17428

Ed,
Nice job! Thumbsup

I forgot to mention that Tom would be proud of me. I power tapped the threaded holes in the body. Big Grin

Nice looking tool!!!

A knurling tool will be my next project, after the sheet metal brake which I just modeled in 3D to give me a feel of how each part looks like. The knurling tool will be based off a plan I bought from Hemingway Kits, not a cheap way to get suitable metals but its not easy to get some metal here in SG given the small quantity.

I was really hoping to get back to the metalwork. November and December were so slow for the cabinetmaking trade that I thought it might be a good time to retire. All of the sudden, I've got jobs out into April.

Not that I'm complaining, you understand...
